I hope (but am altogether very pessimistic about the prospect) that the future will be better.
As for... defending your country? From whom exactly?
Who said anything about paradise? I said its about as good as it can get. What do you expect anyway? As for the future, I simply am a realist. We can strive for peace inasmuch as we are capable, but I tend to agree with Patrick Henry. Can you cite any time in the history of mankind where peace and harmony lasted for a very long time?
Defending against whom? From all the people that don't like us and would like to have what we've worked to obtain here. If you don't think there is a threat, you live in denial. You live ignorant of history. And you are an idealist, not a realist. I prefer to face reality.

I presume you mean "napalm," and no I don't. Where are we doing that now, or are you digging up LBJ's Vietnam war again?
